commit e3e33fc2ea7fcefd0d761db9d6219f83b4248f5c upstream.
Years ago, a separate fast pool was added for interrupts, so that the cost associated with taking the input pool spinlocks and mixing into it would be avoided in places where latency is critical. However, one oversight was that add_input_randomness() and add_disk_randomness() still sometimes are called directly from the interrupt handler, rather than being deferred to a thread. This means that some unlucky interrupts will be caught doing a blake2s_compress() call and potentially spinning on input_pool.lock, which can also be taken by unprivileged users by writing into /dev/urandom.
In order to fix this, add_timer_randomness() now checks whether it is being called from a hard IRQ and if so, just mixes into the per-cpu IRQ fast pool using fast_mix(), which is much faster and can be done lock-free. A nice consequence of this, as well, is that it means hard IRQ context FPU support is likely no longer useful.
The entropy estimation algorithm used by add_timer_randomness() is also somewhat different than the one used for add_interrupt_randomness(). The former looks at deltas of deltas of deltas, while the latter just waits for 64 interrupts for one bit or for one second since the last bit. In order to bridge these, and since add_interrupt_randomness() runs after an add_timer_randomness() that's called from hard IRQ, we add to the fast pool credit the related amount, and then subtract one to account for add_interrupt_randomness()'s contribution.
A downside of this, however, is that the num argument is potentially attacker controlled, which puts a bit more pressure on the fast_mix() sponge to do more than it's really intended to do. As a mitigating factor, the first 96 bits of input aren't attacker controlled (a cycle counter followed by zeros), which means it's essentially two rounds of siphash rather than one, which is somewhat better. It's also not that much different from add_interrupt_randomness()'s use of the irq stack instruction pointer register.
